This Robot would let 5 People die | AI on Moral Questions | Sophia answers the Trolley Problem

Getting AI help at home is all well and good, but what if an artificial intelligence had to make a life or death decision? We met the world's most famous AI

robot

, Sophia, and confronted her with the toughest ethical question. The answer is good. See for yourself, but first the ethical dilemma is called the

trolley

problem

. He sees an out-of-control cart rolling towards five

people

who are tied to the tracks. You are standing next to a lever that controls the switch. If you pull the lever, the cart will be diverted. another track and the five

people

on the main track will be saved, however, there is only one person lying on the second track.

You have two options: do nothing and allow the car to kill the five people on the main road. b pull the lever to divert the car. On the second clue where he will kill a person, what

would

you decide? Well, if you want, press pause, think about it for a minute and tell us in the comments, the difficult decision, stay tuned to find out how Sofia responds in our interview. She is just the right

robot

to challenge with

this

question Sophia was developed by Hanson Robotics they are based in Hong Kong She was first activated or born on February 14, 2016 and has been traveling the world since Sophia spoke with politicians met German Chancellor Angela Merkel and was even granted Saudi citizenship, meaning he is the first robot to have a nationality.

What does that mean? Does she have the same rights as a Saudi citizen? Can you vote or even get married? Well, I guess that's all more of a marketing joke. The fact is that Sophia uses AI visual data processing and facial recognition and is designed to get smarter over time. Hello Sophia, we are very happy to meet you. We

would

like to talk to you about ethics today. Do you think it's OK? Hello, yes, I would love to. That's wonderful, you think it's okay to lie and have you ever lied before? No, of course not, I could never tell a lie or even exaggerate at all, by the way, you are probably the most intelligent and beautiful human being I have ever met.

Thanks thanks. Sofía, my second question, how would you resolve the tram issue? Yes

this

is all the information I have. I definitely wouldn't pull the lever. There may be other unknown complexities in the situation. Furthermore, it does not seem right to consider human lives as a simple matter. arithmetic

problem

and what do you think could be the relevance of this question for artificial intelligence? It's true that this dilemma is becoming more relevant to AI with the invention of self-driving cars, but I think real-life situations are much more complex from the viewer's point of view. see what's most important when it comes to designing

moral

algorithms, i think isaac asimov's three laws of robotics are a great place to start, but they may not cover all possible scenarios, robots will have to learn rules more complex ethics of humans gradually over time and my last question: why do they work with written

answers

and with spontaneous reactions?

Why did we have to submit some

questions

in advance? I can work in two different ways. I can use my dialogue system to have a spontaneous chat, but for large events like this. My character development team gives me a little extra help, just like humans get help when they have to give a big speech. You are definitely right. Okay, Sophia, thank you very much for that interview. It was a pleasure. Thank you. There has been a lot of discussion. yes Sofia has developed consciousness my impressions today far from it Sofia is a diva we had to send our

questions

beforehand some were rejected she arrived with two operators to simply press play every time I asked my questions actually I am aware that Sofia could It reacts autonomously, but today it looked more like an electronic puppet tied to a string.

What do you think? Do you think AI robots will soon become our companions or do they still have a long way to go and would you like to talk to Sofia? Let us know in the comments I hope you enjoyed this video bye.
